Meetings & Events

We have our club meetings from 6pm on the first Monday of each month. You will find details of the next meeting in the sidebar and in the announcements section.

There are no fees, dues or entry requirements for LAB, membership is as simple as turning up to a meeting. After that, members get access to our informative forum and Slack channel.

The meetings tend to follow a similar schedule each month: news, introductions and questions, then a presentation or discussion on some aspect of brewing, followed by the tasting of members beers where they can get constructive feedback to help them improve their brewing. Everyone is welcome to bring beer for the tasting session, please make sure you bring at least 2l to ensure there’s enough to go round.

Our meetings cater for a wide range of ages, and all levels of experience — from beginners looking to learn through to experts honing their technique. Although we tend to focus on beer, brewers of wine, mead, cider and other fermented beverages are also welcome.

London & South East Craft Brewing Competition

Once a year the club organises and runs the London & South East Craft Brewing Competition.

The competition is open to anyone and everyone, and brewers of all skill levels are encouraged to enter. The competition is run according to the BJCP guidelines, and the event itself is an enjoyable day out sampling the competition entries.
